[[Solved] Stroke along closed curve stroke not finished]

I am using 4.8.37 and seems like the problem is occurring when selecting liveclay preset brush, in my case it was amScifi A,B and C. When switching to other live clay tool and switching back to live clay with same preset selected, issue is gone. But always occurring when going right away using preset and closed stroke.

[[Solved] Stroke along closed curve stroke not finished]

Hello, I got this issue in surface mode, in closed curve stroke, stroke is not closed, leaving gap:

Is it a bug or I am missing something?

 

[Best way to sculpt / do hard surface without "broken" edges.]

Try using surface mode

[I will not be silent this time. Just my opinion !]

Nice videos are here with modeling, retopo and painting:

[[Solved] Finding which layers in paint have colour/roughness/etc pixels ?]

What you can do is hover over that painted spot and hit H to select layer that it is painted on.

[Retopo Room - Next Steps]

Yes, once you have retopo cage created, you can mark seams and unwrap in retopo room or hit automap

[[Solved] Retopo via decimation not working]

I had this issue as well, noticed that it usually happens when select this option on sculpt layer, on voxel it works for me.

[3DCoat 4.8 BETA testing thread]

Hello, will there be any update on cavity? Something like dynamic curvature so you don't need to calculate curvature every time you paint with normal.

[Retopo Room - Next Steps]

@kev00

This is better workflow for me

1. Sculpt an object

2. Retopo 

3.  Create UV maps in retopo room

4.  Bake

5.  Switch to paint room and texture on low poly mesh

6. Export

[ZBrush 2019 Launch, March 5th]

I think that snapshot3d is pretty cool, plenty of control over those alphas

Here is another project i want to share, I modeled a bot and did autopo, did pretty good job, but i may redesign the mesh later

I am doing retopo of my gunblade, still WIP, meesing with smart materials and details, had to do some design changes, soon on marmoset viewer

Here is my submission for Hum3D challenge, all geometry is done in 3dcoat, rendered in Octane, small touch ups in photoshop

[[Solved} Alightning vertices on a straight line in Retopo]

you can straighten vertices to line with transform tool, just select them on retopo mesh and scale them to according side and they will get straight in the line

[is there a way to crease retopo edges like in Zbrush?]

Maybe this helps

 

[What Are You Working On ?]

Finished my gunblade concept art, all done in 3dcoat

So I finished my corridor project so I can focus on another portfolio pieces, these props were made in 3Dcoat, I redid boxes and added another prop

 

[How to export textured tiles for Unity]

Hello guys, recently I did some tiled textures for my unity piece, after exporting maps along Y I got pretty decent textures for metallic, roughness, normal and albedo to use in unity and tile them. Problem is that I miss occlusion and height maps. If I create a smart material with those maps and then apply them on rectangle and export, everything is looks flat.

 

 

[[Solved] Retopo not baking normals from external reference mesh]

Thanks for your replies guys, of course If I import mesh as in video, normals are baked properly. But If I go from retopo menu as you see below or File -> Import -> Reference mesh, I will get baked flat normals.

Basically there is a low poly pipe that I turbo smoothed to get High poly smooth object that I used as high poly reference, then I used the same low poly pipe as a Retopo mesh or cage, to bake normals from that HP obj. 

[[Solved] Retopo not baking normals from external reference mesh]

This is how it looks like. 

[[Solved] Retopo not baking normals from external reference mesh]

Yes, I did uvs for low poly and then baked
